openDNS: not great but progress nevertheless
Posted in DNS on July 11th, 2006Maybe I’m the only domain name investor who thinks OpenDNS is a good thing. I think it’s good because it leaves a path open for future improvements to the DNS system we all know and love. First some debunking….
The widely touted benefits and exaggerated blogger claims sound like a load of hooey to me. Spamhaus inntegration sounds OK, but this will not change the balance of power in the war against spam. This will help deter phishing attacks, but is by no means anywhere near the end of the story. It’s just not that simple. And yes they will serve many, many ads on pages for not found domains. Not all that different from Verisign’s old Site Finder plan, except as somebody pointed out people opt in to this service.
